In cash terms the typical LE7 2 home went from £48,000 in 1995 to £300,000 in 2026, roughly 6 times the price. Even after inflation that is a real rise of about 188%: homes here genuinely became dearer, not merely more expensive on paper. The real-terms peak came in 2022, and today's median remains roughly 5% under it: a 2022 buyer is still waiting to get that price back in today's money.
Year-on-year change in the LE7 2 median
Each bar is the change on the year before, in cash. The zero line is the boundary between rising and falling.
The strongest year on record here is 2002 (+29.3% on the year before); the weakest, 2023 (−7.2%). Single-year swings like these are why the annualised table below matters more than any one year's headline.
What LE7 2 has returned, per year
| Period | Cash, per year | Real terms, per year |
|---|---|---|
| 1 years (since 2025) | +9.1% | +6.5% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +3.7% | −1.1% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +3.4% | 0.0% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +3.6% | +0.8% |
Compound annual growth of the median sold price; the real column deflates by ONS CPIH. Annualised figures smooth the cycle (the chart above shows the cycle), and past growth is a record, not a forecast.
The turnover behind the prices
The year-by-year sales count
Recorded sales per year. The dip after 2008 is the financial crisis; the last bar is still filling in as recent sales get registered.
The register shows 52 LE7 2 sales across the most recent twelve months of data. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 151 sales a year before the financial crisis and 97 a year over the last five. Volume matters as much as price: when few homes change hands, the median gets jumpy and a single street can move the figure. The most recent year is always still filling in, because sales appear in the Land Registry weeks or months after completion.
What homes rent for around LE7 2
LE7 2 falls under Charnwood, where the ONS puts the average private rent at £955 a month (May 2026 figures). A one-bed averages £674 a month here and a four-or-more-bed £1,468, so size does most of the work in setting the rent.
Average monthly rent by size, Charnwood
ONS Price Index of Private Rents, May 2026.
£955 a month is £11,460 a year, which against the £300,000 median sold price makes a gross yield of 3.8%. Gross means before letting costs, voids, maintenance and tax: treat it as a ceiling. The ONS publishes rents by local authority, so neighbouring districts under the same authority share these numbers.
What kind of market LE7 2 is
Only 52 sales completed here in the last twelve months of data, which makes LE7 2 a thin market. Each figure rests on few transactions, so single streets can swing the median and the charts deserve a sceptical squint.

Prediction is not this page's business. Its business is the record, which says: the median is up 20% over five years in cash but down 5% after inflation. Read the volume chart with the price chart before acting on either, remembering that registrations trail the deals themselves by weeks.

What another bedroom costs in LE
Real sold prices by size across the LE area, straight from the Land Registry record. The jump between sizes is local: in some areas a third bedroom adds a quarter to the price, in others nearly four fifths, so a national rule of thumb will mislead you here.
| Type | 1 bed | 2 bed | 3 bed | 4 bed | 5 bed |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Detached | — | £285,000 | £380,000 (+33%) | £560,000 (+47%) | £795,000 (+42%) |
| Semi-detached | £210,000 | £242,000 (+15%) | £282,000 (+17%) | £360,000 (+28%) | £500,000 (+39%) |

Four years of recorded sales, split by built form and bedroom count. The register does not state bedrooms, so sizes come from each home's EPC record and a few homes will land one size out. Sizes with too few homes to be meaningful are left blank.

About the numbers: everything is computed from HM Land Registry Price Paid Data (Crown copyright, OGL v3.0), geocoded to the address; today's-money figures use the ONS CPIH index, and rents are the ONS Price Index of Private Rents by local authority. These are medians of recorded sales, not valuations, and none of it is financial advice.
